Trumbull Connecticut - In a trailblazing moment for the world of junior golf as the inaugural All-Girls U13 PGA Jr. League All-Star Team, The G SQUAD gears up for their highly anticipated debut at the prestigious Lyman Orchards Golf Club this August.
With an extraordinary display of talent and passion, these young female athletes are poised to make history on the greens.
The team was founded and formed by The G SQUAD’s Captain, Sadie Lee (13) of CT and coached by a well-known and passionate PGA Professional, Bobby Brown.
“My passion is to grow the game of golf for girls and to encourage them to play the best sport in the world. I have played in the PGA Jr League for a couple of years and all the teams had all boys or just a few girls mixed in. I created this team of amazing girl golfers to show the other teams that girls are fierce competitors and that we are fearless. I hope this encourages other girls to create or join our team in the future!” states Sadie Lee, founder of The G SQUAD.
Bobby Brown, head PGA Pro at Tashua Knolls is well known for building the largest youth golfer program in Florida and Trumbull. He has coached tour players such as Brooks Koepka and Lexi Thompson as youths and is excited to lead this group of talented young ladies.
